This is a feat.

Gain a +2 untyped Insight bonus.

In addition, once per encounter after being damaged by an enemy, you can focus your vengeance on that enemy and gain a +2 untyped damage bonus to damage rolls against it until the end of the encounter.

Why would any defender not choose that feat?

For comparison, the Fighter Utility 6, Settling the Score, is a Daily, Immediate Reaction. Trigger: an enemy hits you with an attack. Effect: You gain a +2 power bonus to attack rolls against the triggering enemy until the end of the encounter.

+2 untyped to a skill for a feat is unorthodox and a bit too good. You get +3 feat bonus for skill focus, so a +2 untyped bonus is pretty great. Adding a combat bonus on top of that is overkill. Moreover, every feat that improves a skill in addition to giving another bonus specifies that the bonus to the skill is a 'feat bonus'.

+2 damage against one foe for a combat is... interesting. The untyped here is necessary, because almost everyone has weapon focus or racial weapon focus. I would give this feat a shot (but change the +2 insight to a feat bonus).

Settling the score is good because of the +2 to hit, which is much more valuable than +2 damage. When a single foe is tough enough to use a daily on, +2 to hit is epic.
As a defender I would strongly consider this feat, but I could think of many others I prefer.
